1. Why did you attack Tinian and not another island in the Marianas.% {+ L7 F4 C1 t; n$ `
8 P8 Q( ?4 l5 t5 y0 j
All other islands are mountainous so Tinian has a x 4 AV multiple for forts, Saipan, Guam or Pagan would have x 12 because forts and mountains are mutiplactive. i.e. attacking the Marianas for the allies is a no choice option.% k4 B. D1 I" K, e" T

5 w. _+ h& i( G, H" I# p% a" m1 v FBecause it is not possible in WITP to interdict land reinforcements if the Japanese player is willing to take the losses he can put 2 or 3 Divs ashore in short order either by transport aircraft or massed AK invasion - Pauk did that to me at Gasmata so he knows the moves and PZB has completed it many times another 1,000 AV x 4 = no matter what the allies bring its not possible., Q1 a r; Q/ ].

8 h' A% v, Q! k. F" C
SWPAC is a valid attack route BUT with every base having lvl 9 forts and the Japanese able to reinforce and it being malaria it is a VERY tough attack route. Remember Noemfoor against PZB a single Bde can stop 2 - 3 Divs of allied Troops for a long time. Forts are just to strong in jungle and Malaria.! u0 C/ a) S- @" j! b) A( w
